Lending system

The
Library Management computer system is called Eclipse.net.

Everything is
run by the computer. There are no library tickets or card indexes. The
only manual process is when the item is date stamped.

Borrowers
are identified using "Identikit Registration" which uses an electronic
fingerprint scanner. Usually the right thumb is used for identification.

Books are issued for a maximum of three weeks. This period is
modified on the run-up to end of term. DVDs and videos are issued for
three working days. When borrowers keep their books, DVDs or videos
beyond the due date, overdue letters are issued.

The School
Library Catalogue can be searched by clicking on the "Eclipse.net" logo
on the Library's Catalogue Search page. Access to your own personal
library data is possible using "My Account". Ask the Librarian for your
access details. Users wishing to borrow an
item which is out on loan may reserve that item. Pupils will be informed
of its availability in writing via their form tutor. Items may be
renewed a maximum of two times.
